[Q] many problems

Hello,
my HTC desire has been rooted for like 8 months or so, with Oxygen 2.3.2 ROM installed. Yesterday i had my first problem, my apps began to freeze, and it ended up that my hole phone were froozen. I pulled my battery in and out, nothing happened.
I went into recovery and made a factoery reset, and wiped everything i could (i have read, that it was a good idea) and when i turned my phone up again, i realised that i had deleted my ROM on the phone...
So again... i went in to recovery and tryed to flash my ROM again, but i ran into a problem:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
after i googled and tryed for like an hour and a half, i got it fixed with
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
and as i remember i took my batteri out again, and placed my memery-card into my computer, moved my ROM (oxygen 2.3.2) over again. So i tryed to get into recovery, but now it wont get in there, after i press the POWER-button on "Recovery" it just stocks on the HTC load screen, i left it that way the hole night, and when i woke up, nothing was happened...
i pulled my battery out, and now i got some problems just booting up to fastboot/hboot to.
so the problems now:
problems getting into RECORVERY
Sometimes problems booting to HBOOT/FASTBOOT
If you need any information, please tell me so
PS: Im sorry if my english is kind of bad

You should try flashing a new recovery image via fastboot once you get there. That worked for me when i couldnt enter recovery.

I assume you are S-OFFed so just download a recovery.img file of your recovery, boot into fastboot and flash via fastboot utility your recovery.img file like 'fastboot flash recovery path\to\recovery.img'
Goodluck!

USB functions are working? (Mount/debuging)

"I'm S-ON, I can't boot recovery, and my phone doesn't boot "
This is a bit of a worse situation, as you cannot flash system critical parts such as the recovery image and just restore a backup. This unfortunately means that you will lose all of your data when you attempt to fix the phone.
[STEP1]- Make sure that you have a goldcard. If not, create one from the tutorial.
[STEP2]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP3]- Download the latest WWE RUU from here
[STEP4]- Run the RUU and wait for completion WARNING: DO NOT, BY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERRUPT THE PROCESS - THIS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE - NOT EVEN IF GOD HIMSELF TELLS YOU TO DO SO, OR IF THE US PRESIDENT THREATENS YOU WITH THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR
[STEP5]- Once the phone is booted, you are now returned completely to stock. You will need to re-root again, and I'd recommend S-OFF

SLCD brick?
Try to pull the battery, power on + back (this will get you into fastboot), wait about 10-20 seconds, then connect it to usb. In fastboot utility type 'fastboot devices' and see if it detects your phone. If it does, run an RUU.

Jep i tryed pull the battery out, i can still not turn it on

[Q] Fastboot not recognized?

Dear all,
After my phone was stuck in a bootloop i've been trying to reflash the recovery which i'm not able to access.
I have used revolutionary and have been using MIUI for a while, further details:
Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
I'm trying to fix this on my moms pc and I notice there's some problems with the adb/fastboot since it gives me an error of a missing AdbWinApi.dll when trying to flash the recovery from android-sdk/tools.
However, the error does not appear when I run fastboot from \platform-tools. Could that be correct? If I do, the command box is waiting for the device and seems to be stuck there. when using the command adb devices, my desire is not listed.
What am I doing wrong here? Thnx!

and fastboot drivers installed?
download here
phone must be in fastboot (power+back button)
try: fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img= path/filename of your recovery

Can't access recovery after flash with fastboot
Awesome! thnx I had been installing drivers, but apparently the right one wasn't there.
Unfortunately, next problem... (is it ok to ask it here?) I've flashed the recovery, but the bootloop still exist. Is the S-on option of bortaks guide safe to try next? or are there other (better) alternatives?
edit: never mind! the ruu indeed worked pfieuw... thnx for the help!

glad to hear that, enjoy

i cant see my device with adb on linux.
last time i had flash the hboot from the phone!
i use kubuntu 12.04 with 3.4 kernel.
can you give me any help?

adb works in custom recovery/rom with debugging on, fastboot command in fastboot mode (power +back button to power on phone or reboot to bootloader from custom rom with APM)

[Q]Cant check the hboot version

When i use the command fastboot oem readcid it writes "waiting for device" and nothing happends...
why?

Just reboot into fastboot mode and you will see hboot version on the top .

I went to fastboot mode and then did the command again still "waiting for device" and nothing happends and then i get a windows message that says the driver unsuccessful installed

it is just a simple .exe to run on Windows, search for it

If you are in fastboot mode you should see which hboot version you are on, therefore you are not in fastboot mode. Push power and volume down simultanously. You then should be in the bootloader and see which hboot you have.

[Q] HTC One X (HELP)

Please Help,
I think my cousin has bricked my phone, I have tried everything and the phone will die soon as it wont switch offf.
Basically my phone has rooted and also the bootscreen unlocked, now my cousin didn't make a backup of my initial stock rom. so I am kinda stuck.
When I put the phone into boot via Power Button and Down Volume its comes to the white boot screen. When I Fastboot USB mode it says "SD Checking, Failed to open usb master", so how can i put this stock rom I found if my pc can't even detect the phone storage.
When I also go into my ClockworkRecovery and go into Mounts and Storage Menu > Mount USB storage, I get "unable to ums lunfile (no usch file or........ I thought maybe I could get the pc to recognize the phone sotrage via that way so I can put a ROM on the phone.
Phone has no ROM on it atm, I am slowly giving up.

update to the latest cwm or twrp then try again
---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------
oh and and usb master mode thing is because you have the cable plugged in when starting bootloader. pull usb cable out before starting bootloader and plug it back in when it loads

How do I update the CWM with no OS installed

I think it is beyond being fixed my friend, when I power up the phone without the cable then I put it in once is have pressed the power key for the fastboot, the phone is still not detected. when the cable is plugged in on the fastboot it shows "fastboot USB" so it must be doing something?
Is there anyway someone would be really kind and use a voip and direct me or is the phone just totally dead now?

Ok, you can get into bootloader so your phone is not bricked. You are rooted, correct ?
You have a fastboot folder on your PC with the necessary files in it ?

yes that is good, and from "fastboot usb" is where you install a newer cwm. get it from here>>>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646 rename the file "recovery" and put it in your fastboot folder, then install it by typing in command window "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then install your rom or stock nandroid that I linked for you earlier

same problem
Hi I have HTC ONE X after custom rom has lost imei number, bootloader relocked, android probably deleted and can't connect like normal with Laptop "UNKNOWN DEVICE" becouse all identification numers are 0, USB MASS Storage unavailable
Any ideas for bring him back?

Make sure you are in the "fastboot" folder that is on your desktop. In other words, the fastboot folder window is highlighted.
Hold the "shift" key on your keyboard and at the same time right click on empty space in the fastboot folder. Now you will get a menu, click on "Open command prompt here".
You should now have a fastboot terminal window and you can send commands to your phone using fastboot.
As "nogotaclue", said download ClockworkMod Recovery from Here . Put the downloaded recovery image in your fastboot folder. I would rename the downloaded recovery to "recovery_cwm". I do this because I find it easier to distinguish between recoveries that way.
Now go into your fastboot terminal window and type " fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm.img " without the quote marks and then hit "enter".
Once you get a message saying that it succeeded type
" fastboot erase cache " hit "enter"
Now power off your phone reboot into bootloader and select recovery. If all is well you will be looking at Clockwork mod recovery 5.8.4.0.
Now you just need to get a ROM or a nandroid backup and you should be good to go....

As long as you can boot into recovery and mount usb storage then you can place a rom or a nandroid on your device and get up and running again.

5.)Shift + Right Click open command prompt here blah blah
6.)In the CMD window type "fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm.img"
7.)If succeeded, then the following "fastboot erase cache" hit enter power off phone.
8.)BOOTLOADER, recovery and CWM should be there.

In fastboot, you can only use fastboot commands. Choose fastboot from the HBOOT menu, and when connected to your computer, it should say "FASTBOOT USB." Then, you should be able to do a "fastboot devices," and your device should show up. Please provide the output of "fastboot getvar all" and we can better judge how to proceed.

That's not what I asked for, but it might be enough. You'll need to relock the device (fastboot oem lock) and then flash the 5.07.651.1 firmware.zip via RUU mode.
Here's the file you need to download, and place the file in the same folder on your computer from which you're running fastboot.
So, after relocking, at the command prompt reboot to RUU mode.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Then flash the firmware zip.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Once complete, the command prompt will come back, and you can reboot back to the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
At this point, you will have the stock recovery, and hopefully it'll boot into it. So, when you get back to HBOOT, choose the "RECOVERY" option. If all is well, you'll get the red triangle with exclamation point, which is the stock recovery. Press both volume buttons and the power button at the same time to bring up the menu, and choose the option to reboot the device now. Hold the volume down button immediately after choosing to reboot so you can get back into HBOOT.
From there, you just have to unlock again, and then you should be able to flash a custom recovery.
Make sure you are running these commands from the folder with fastboot.exe in it. Otherwise they will give you the error you mentioned in your OP.

This may sound dumb but im having a problem relocking the device. My computer is not registing my phone.

For the purposes of this exercise, you need to select "FASTBOOT". Once you select that, it should change from FASTBOOT to FASTBOOT USB if the drivers are installed correctly.
Nothing is supposed to open on your computer - I'm not sure what you mean by that. You have to open a command prompt, and navigate to the location of fastboot.exe on your computer, which you're presumably downloaded previously.

Im not sure what I meant either sorry its been a long day. So, okay I have the correct drivers because it does say FASTBOOT USB but when I try in that command i get an error message stating it's not recognize internal or external.

Wherever you save that is the folder you need to open the command prompt from, and where you need to put the firmware zip file.

You shouldn't be running anything related to adb. Just follow my instructions. Everything I said is for fastboot, not adb.

I really dont know what im doing wrong I downloaded the fastboot and then the filmware i put them both in one same folder and then when command prompt came up i got an error...idk what im doing wrong!

What do you mean when the command prompt came up? I asked for screenshots for this reason. Difficult to be able to determine the issue if you don't provide enough information.

Okay back to the start, I have both files in one folder....do I extract?
